THE POKEMON COMPANYTyranitar is a fan-favorite Pokemon from Gen 2 and its Mega Evolution is one of the strongest creatures in the game. So, if you want to add Mega Tyranitar to your Pokemon Go roster, here are its best movesets.
This intimidating dinosaur was first introduced back in the Johto region along with 99 other Pokemon. It quickly became an ultimate fan-favorite not just due to its cool design but also because of how strong it is in general.
With the release of Gen 6, the temporary Mega Evolutions mechanic was added to the X & Y games thanks to the Kalos’ Mega Stones discovery, and in 2020, they finally made it to Niantic’s mobile game.
Currently, Mega Tyranitar is part of the many Mega Pokemon available in the game, alongside fan favorites like Mega Gardevoir, Mega Charizard, and Mega Gengar. So, if you want one now that it’s coming back to Mega Raids, here are the best moves you should teach it.
Best moveset for PvP
Before announcing Mega Tyranitar’s best moveset for PvP, it’s worth noting that Mega Evolutions cannot take part in the regular Battle League tiers unless a special event or cup is taking place.
That said, you should teach Mega Tyranitar Bite as a Fast Move and Brutal Swing as a Charged Move for PvP, as this combo will deal 20.57 damage per second, with an outstanding 997.0 extra damage before it faints.
Because of how good this ‘mon is as both Dark and Rock types, you can raise two of them, each focusing on one type.
The overall best is Dark, as mentioned above, but your second Mega Tyranitar can focus on the Rock type with Smack Down and Stone Edge as the predetermined moveset.
GAME FREAK/THE POKEMON COMPANYBest moveset for Raids
The best moveset for Mega Tyranitar in Raids is the same as for PvP, with Bite as a Fast Move and Brutal Swing as a Charged Move.
However, players who have an Elite TM to spare can use it to change Bite for Smack Down. That way, Mega Tyranitar will hit with both types -Rock and Dark- giving it more coverage.
This new combo will give this beast a total damage per second of 16.77 and a 620 total damage output.
